- Summary:
- Researchers and practitioners in economics, development, and other fields from industrialized and non-industrialized countries look at the concept of human well-being, techniques for measuring it, and examples of applying these techniques. They take as a starting point the now generally accepted formula that improving well-being requires higher levels of income, access to education and health services, political and civil freedom, and gender equality.
